“You look like you’ve got a secret.”
“I do,” she agreed, stepping forward to press a single hard kiss to my mouth. Then she whispered against my lips, “I’ve got your cum dripping down my thighs.”

REAGAN
When we’d gone back insideafter our tryst, Finn’s family gave us endless shit. It had only been too obvious what we’d been up to, and being soaking wet certainly didn’t help matters. Though the night was still young, Crew agreed to bring us home under the guise of changing and heading back in our own vehicle.
We all knew that was a lie.
Especially since, the moment we were through the door of the house, Finn swept me into his arms, and I had no doubt how we’d be spending the rest of the night.
Burying his face in my neck, he took an exaggerated inhale of my skin then nipped my flesh with his teeth.
“I’m fuckinghungry, belle.”
“Oh really?”
“Yes.Starving.”
“Kitchen’s that way,” I said, pointing behind him when he bypassed it to head down the hall.
“Not interested in that kind of meal,” he assured me as he entered our room and gently placed me on the bed.
“What kind of meal then?” I asked, propping myself up on my elbows and grinning at him.
He glanced pointedly at the apex of my thighs, still sticky from our earlier fuck. “You’re a smart woman, Reagan. I think you’ll figure it out.”
His words struck true, right in my core, lighting me up from the inside out.
Outside the bar had been the first time we’d had sex since my accident—Finn’s insistence, not mine. I’d been ready to go a week ago, but he’d refused until I could go a day without my pain meds.
I supposed it was a blessing. With the ugly black cast and dull throbbing as my constant companions, I wasn’t feeling particularly sexy these days.
But the way he looked at me…
I must have said the words out loud, because Finn canted his head to the side and said, “How do I look at you?”
“Like I’m the only woman in the world. Like you never want tostoplooking at me.”
“Idon’t,” he assured me. “Iloveyou, Reagan Lindsey. I love you more than anyone and anything in this world. And…I want you to stay.”
Emotion clogged my throat, but I managed to get out, “I love you too, and I’m not going anywhere.”
He shook his head. “No, I mean…after we find Lainey. Whatever happens, I want you to stay with me. Build a life here. I don’t ever want to spend another second away from you.”
His admission was surprising—but also not. We’d been heading in this direction for a while, likely since a few months ago, when we’d seen each other for the first time again in the sheriff’s department.
Did Iwantto stay in Dusk Valley? Make this town and Finn permanent?
I didn’t even have to think about it.
“Yes.”
Like an excited kid on Christmas, Finn hopped on the bed and hovered over me, grinning happily.
